And yet he managed to get elected to Congress and once had a respectable appearance on "The Daily Show." He was on the rise, a politician ascending. And then he got busted by the media for tweeting pictures of parts that should remain private to random women.  A car carrying Pope Francis gets mobbed in the streets of Rio on July 22.
